The Lenten services was COM

10 O'Clock. According to the tenets of
the Protestant Episcopal church, the
benefits to be derived from the season
of Lent are only limited by the dispo-
sition of the individual. But it is not
simply a custom of this church, 1t is
a season whose age views up, or back,
into the centuries, and has been tried
by the people of every age and by the
great body of the church everywhere.

Tin Mountain.

The final completion of the Tin Noun
tain mill is awaited with much interest,
but like all enterprises of this character,
its completion is delayed by unforeseen
circumstances beyond the time antici-
pated. We are informed, however, that
within ten days the mill will be in oper-
alton. a large quantity of ore Of eX-
cellent quality, is now on the dump
awaiting the completion of the mill, and
the mine is said to be showing up salts
factorily under recent development. 1t
is but reasonable to suppose, no acci-
dent intervening, that Custer county
will be tin producer, and the only one
in America, before the close of the first
week in the new year, which makes its
advent in the brief period of fourteen
days

Buildings Projected.

When the springtime comes once
more it is the intention of the citizens
of the various towns throughout the
Black Hills region to inaugurate build
ing boom. In Custer two brick blocks
are now determined on. At Hot Springs
thirty cottages will be built. At Dead
wood the J. X. i. Miller Gblock is already
under contract Hermosa, Sturgis,
Speartish and Lead City all have build
ing projects on hand. At Whitewood
the temporary buildings now being
erected will doubtless be replaced by
permanent structures. In Rapid City
there are several building projects, in
cubating, of which more will be heard
in the future. There will doubtless be
plenty of work for mechanics in this
part of the world next year Rapid
Journal.
Yes, it is very probable that there will
be more buildings erected in the various
towns of the Hills during the year 1888
than have been built in the past five
years. Speaking for Custer, we have to
say, that if nothing transpires to slip
the cut, and the tin deal is made in ac-
cordance with the present arrangement,
there will be city to build here In 'SS.

PAYMENT Promptly Met.

The first payment of $4,000 on the
Dolphin group of tin mines at Warren 5
gulch, near this city, recently purchased
by the Harpey Peak Tin company, was
promptly met in accordance with the
terms of the sale on the 18th inst.
This sale, as before stated in this
paper, aside from the large amount Of
money $40, ,0O0( involved in its transfer,
of which amount S33 600 falls to Custer
parties, is to Custer by far the most inn
portant sale of mining property ever
made in this country, inasmuch as it
extends the limits of the tin possessions
of the lIarney Peak company several
miles in a direction which cannot fail to
result in immeasurable advantage to this
place, a fact which must be apparent to
all familiar with the situation, and one
which is very fairly indicated 10y fail
ure on the part of certain foot hills
journals to note the important trans
action, the largest tin sale yet made in
the Southern Hills. A sale of far less
magnitude and importance in a less
remote locality would, no doubt, have
appeared in their columns III double

Our TIN Mines.

During the past week tin prospecting
has been unusually lively, and a mum
Der Of important discoveries have been
made almost within the limits of the
city, among which number show salts
factory evidences of more than ordinary
value A number Of claims located near
the Tin Reef group, almost in sight of
this place, upon which the assessment
work is being done, are showing up an
excellent character of ore. The devel
opments at Warren's gulch are highly
gratifying, where during the past week
a number Of promising ore todies have
been encountered upon claims under
going the annual assessment work. At
Niggerville Tenderfoot, the Park and
other districts visited by US, the highest
confidence is entertained in the per-
manent value of the tin deposits.
Interests in tin claims continue TO be
in good request in this place, and daily
local transfers are being made, which
in the aggregate reach up into the thou
sands in the course of week. Tin
locations are Of daily occurrence, and at
no time in Clusters history has her ad
jacent territory been marked by SO
great number Of claim stakes, and the
end is not vet

New Railroad Survey,

We learn from a source that is posi-
lively reliable that a b. & Nj. Railroad
surveying party were last week engaged
in surveying a new route up Red Canyon
from the Cheyenne river, near the ] . 1
ranch, and that on Friday of last week
the route had been staked to a point
one mile north of the Pitcher, Moore &
Go. coal claim, % miles south of this
place. The entire party consisting Of IS
persons, visited the coal claim and ex-
amined the coal body, but being true to
their railroad instincts forebore com
ment. We shall not venture a predic-
ton us TO the objective point of the
survey, preferring to suspend Judgment
until the stakes are driven within the
limits Of the tin city.

Whereas, The territory of Dakota from
small beginnings has grown in strength

dustries of civilization to proportions so
great as fairly TO entitle her to state

for her citizens TO request congress Of
the United States-w hich is charged
with the duty and clothed with the
power of admitting new states-to hasten
that event 10y an early consideration of
the condition Of o.r people, and their
strong desire for local self government.
70 this end we invite public attention
to the general inte ligence of the people
who have selected homes and cast their
lots on the virgin aosom Of this empire
territory, to their public and social vir
tues, to the rapid strides Of social in
dustries, the bounteous rewards bestow-
ed on tue labor Of the husbandman and
miner, to the strong financial credit
which the territory has without as well
as within her borders, and to the good
order observed everywhere within her
limits. The local feeling manifest. in
times past, in certain sections, TO AFRO
gate for the inhabitants of a section of
the territory, extraordinary political
power belonging only TO congress, has
subsidized, and is rapidly dissipating un-
der more sober consideration. There
fore, the people of Lawrence county in
convention assembled ut Deadwood,
declare that they are desirous that our
form of local government shall be
changed to the more stable and salts
factory one of state. And, irrespective
Of party affiliations, they respectfully
request the national congress to pass an
ACT to enable the people Of the territory
to form a state governments IN the usual
and ordinary manner, and that the same
paternal solicitude heretofore evinced,
and the same generous bounty that has
been extended bv congress towards new
states, may not be omitted in the en-
abing act for Dakota. 1t is therefore
Resolved, That this convention de-
sires the early admission as state OF

Resolved, That this convention is in
full accord with the purpose of the con

territory on the 18th inst, to obtain
from congress an enabling act for Da-

Resolved, That, in the opinion Of this

The Band Will PLAY,

The instruments for the Custer Cornet
Band arrived on Tuesday. They are
nchle plated, first-class in all respects,
and highly satisfactory to the members,
who met for practice in the court house
on the evening Of their arrival, and
after few hours drilling under their
efficient leader, succeeded in playing
fairly well number Of pieces. Nearly
all Of the members are proficient in
music, and a number Of them have been
connected with bands elsewhere, which
accounts for the rapid advancement
made at their first meeting. Custer will
soon have band second to none in the
Hills.

By Proxy Only.

1t now transpires that not one of the
Black Hills counties will be represented
in the Aberdeen convention other than
by proxy. This unfortunate result is
due to the difficulty experienced in
trying to induce the dear people to
produce the collateral necessary to de-
fray expenses. The Rapid Republican
notes an effort to raise money in that
:own for that purpose by subscription
without success; only three dollars
subscribed, which being insufficient,
personal representation was at once
declared Improbable.

New Time Table.

1t will not 60 into effect until the 18th,
one week from today, on which date the
long talked of fast train on the North
western, Chicago and Omaha, will begin
running. Just what changes have been
decided upon SO far as the run west of
Missouri Valley is concerned, cannot be
announced. A special from Chicago
states that by the new timetable the
Pacific express will leave Chicago at 7:30
p. m., instead Of l2, noon, as at present,
and will arrive at the Missouri River
transfer at ll:30 next morning. This
would land passengers at Missouri Valley
at about IL a. IN. Going east the fast
train will leave Missouri Valley at 4:20,
arriving at Chicago at next morning
Unless eastern roads change schedules
to correspond, travel to and from points
beyond Chicago will be Inconvenience
rather than Accommodated by the change
The new cut off to Omaha via Airing
ton is to be opened for traffic today.
At least such was the intention of offici
ais few days ago when it was thought
! that new time tables on trunk lines
would 60 into effect today, but as that
event has been deferred week, the
opening Of the cutoff may be postponed
The Elkhorn is preparing elegant head
quarters for principal officers and de-
partments over the Merchants National
bank Omaha, to be occupied abont the
18th instant. Such officers are at pre-
sent located at Fremont, Norfolk and
Missouri Valley. A reduction of freight
rates is probable at an early date as in
dicated by a recent reduction Of ID cents
on first class freight Chicago to Nabraska
points, and pr oportionately on other
classes.-Times IL.

Washington special: The superinten-
dent Of the dead letter office, postoffi ce
department, has prepared circular let
ter which will be sent to all postmasters
directing the strict enforcement of sect
ion $50 of the postal laws and regulation.
This section makes it imperative on
postmasters to advertise in newspapers a
manuscript list Of non-delivered letters.
It also requires the charge and collec-
ton of ore cent in all cases where a
letter has been pu blishcd, whether the
list has been published in newspaper
either gratuitousiy or at one cent each
letter or less sum, or whether the
publication was merely by written list
posted in some public place" In all
cases the postmaster must affix and
cancel a one-cent postage due stamp
as evidence of its delivery. In post.
offices other than those of tho free
delivery class, the postage due stamps
should not be affixed until the delivery
Of the letter. This clause Of the postal
laws has not heretofore been strictly
enforced. II is estimated that the postal
revenues will be increased largeley by
the strict enforcement of this law.
